Take a look at these things to do in Boston to give yourself an idea of what to do when your friends come to visit!

Eating Your Way Through Quincy Market

Quincy Market has more food vendors than you can imagine. From Asian food to Indian food to gelato, Quincy Market has so many options for eating out, which is an experience in itself!

Visiting Faneuil Hall

Faneuil Hall offers a variety of shops, but also from November 22nd-January 4th, it offers a free light show with over 350,000 lights blinking to your favorite Christmas music!

Skating at the Boston Common Frog Pond

Not only is walking through the Boston Common and Public Garden gorgeous, but starting November 22nd, you can also skate on the Frog Pond, a favorite activity for locals and tourists.

Walking Around The North End

Boston’s North End is similar to the “Little Italy” of Manhattan, filled with great Italian food and even better local bakeries. The cute streets and amazing food of the North End is definitely a must see.

Walk The Freedom Trail 

For someone that’s never visited Boston before, the Freedom Trail is a really fun and free way to experience the history of Boston. The Freedom Trail will walk you and your friend through the historic sights of downtown Boston.
